Overview Few brands in the modern carscape enjoy the dichotomous image that Land Rover’s Range Rover so expertly exudes. At its core a go anywhere, climb anything, traverse all conceivable topographies utility vehicle, somehow the Range Rover manages to look as at home dropping celebrities onto red carpets as it does traversing the Kalahari with weeks worth of consumables strapped to the roof. How they have managed to pull off such a feat largely remains a mystery that has driven marketing professors mad for years and kept the competition guessing for equally long, but it does ensure one thing – each successive Range Rover design is more impressive than the last, both in staggering off-road confidence and opulent luxury.

What's Not to Like This is a Range Rover, and the price tag reflects its name as much as it does the luxury. The navigation system is woefully hard to use, and its functionality is subpar. It’s difficult not to laugh at fuel economy consumption numbers that never escape the high teens, in this case 12 mpg city, 18 mpg highway. Blame the bulbous 5,697 lb curb weight. Cargo capacity is also down on some of its larger competitors.

The Drive: Driving Impressions Luxurious and massive, the Range Rover is like a limousine jacked up on stilts. The steering is quite light and feels slightly disconnected – perhaps hinting at its disposition for off-road antics – but it’s accurate, making the massive Range Rover easily placeable on roads.
